Default 2014 Road King cooling

Ok, I get what HD are doing with the twin cool thing.
What I am wondering is how the running temp of the new Road King will compare to the older versions ?
I am seriously considering trading in my Deuce for a R. King, but wonder if the Twin Cooled tourers would be noticeable cooler for the rider, hmmmmm ?

I'm not sure I understand your question. You do know that the 2014 Road Kings are NOT Twin-Cooled engines, right? The Twin-Cooling is only available on 3 models, all with fairings and lowers (Ultra Limited, CVO LImited, Tri-Glide). The heat-related rider comfort on a 2014 RK shouldn't any different than any other 2010 or newer RK. Earlier models will not be as hot because no catalytic converters until 2010.

That's my point. I am wondering if the new air cooled motor, bigger air intake, different cam , will run as hot or cooler than the '13 .
Might be best off trying for a deal on a 13, especially if the new bike runs the same temps.
I do like the idea of the beefed up forks and new style bags though.....

Sit tight it's still summer and the ride reports should start real soon from new owners on this forum.
